The effective way the clarinet player does a musical call and response to the singer is just mesmerizing.

@PAHoyeck OK, I was right, and will give myself a cookie, which I will eat while re-reading basic logic terms intending to stitch together a patch of the sieve time has made of my brains.

This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗

So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old!👇❤️‍🔥

Mijns inziens is dit een van de beste use cases voor AI-videocontent op dit moment. Een AI-influencer reist terug in de tijd naar 1536 om te vloggen over haar ervaringen in Tudor-Londen.

Amazing essay “On Girls” by a 19th century schoolboy, picked out by Mark Twain as the funniest (genuine) boy’s composition he has ever seen.

“they always now their lessons bettern boys” … just incredible

“My father observed that most buildings, and most buildings that we truly love, are not the work of architects. The agreeable settledness of the old English town, he reasoned, was the work of local craftsmen…”

And as C.S. Lewis once wrote...

"To be happy at home, said (Samuel) Johnson, is the end of all human endeavour. As long as we are thinking only of natural values we must say that the sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a man alone reading a book that interests him; and that all economies, politics, laws, armies, and institutions, save insofar as they prolong and multiply such scenes, are a mere ploughing the sand and sowing the ocean, a meaningless vanity and vexation of spirit. Collective activities are, of course, necessary, but this is the end to which they are necessary."

For centuries, alchemists search for the Philosopher's Stone in hopes of producing the Elixir of Life.

Then coffee shows up in Europe. All of a sudden, nobody's talkimg about the Philosopher's Stone anymore.

Coincidence?
